Η Porta Nigra χτίστηκε πριν από σχεδόν 2.000 χρόνια ως ρωμαϊκή πύλη της πόλης και έχει επιβιώσει από τη διάβαση των αιώνων σχεδόν άθικτη. Είναι χτισμένη από 7.200 πέτρινους όγκους και έχει ύψος 29 μέτρα. Χρησιμοποιήθηκε ως εκκλησία τον Μεσαίωνα, μετά από 800 χρόνια απέκτησε ξανά τη λειτουργία της πύλης της πόλης. Σήμερα, η μαύρη πύλη, όπως μεταφράζεται, ανήκει στα Μνημεία Παγκόσμιας Κληρονομιάς της UNESCO και είναι ένα ορόσημο της Τριέρ. https://www.urlaub-in-rheinland-pfalz.de/urlaub/766/Porta_Nigra/index.htm

Possibly the oldest surviving picture in Trier Cathedral is the tympanum in the south wall at the portal to the Church of Our Lady. It is a sandstone relief from around 1180, showing Christ enthroned in the middle, Mary, the patroness of the Liebfrauenkirche, on the left, and Peter, the patron saint of the cathedral, on the right. The figures stand out three-dimensionally, while the frame ornament is kept flat. In the course of the restoration, which was completed in 1974, the original colors of the sculpture were uncovered, which had been whitewashed over several times over the past few years and covered with a thick layer. Subtleties of the representation such as hair and the folds of the robes are clearly recognizable again.

The Porta Nigra (Latin for "Black Gate"; formerly also Porta Martis and Römertor) is a former Roman city gate built from 170 AD on Porta Nigra Square and is a symbol of the city of Trier. The name Porta Nigra comes from the Middle Ages. The inhabitants of Trier usually only call the gate "Porta". The Porta Nigra has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage in Trier since 1986. Furthermore, it is a protected cultural asset under the Hague Convention. The Porta Nigra is the best preserved Roman city gate in Germany.

Where the Saar and Moselle meet The Moselle and Saar originate in France and meet in Konz after a long journey through varied landscapes. The two rivers give our holiday region its name and have shaped a unique landscape. At the mouth of the Saar there is a triangular sculpture as a place of peace and meditation. You can sit in the stone, shielded from external influences. It is quieter in the stone and the sound of the water is amplified.

Here the Saar flows into the Moselle and forms a small German Corner. There is a pyramid-shaped stone here as a monument to Kaiser Wilhelm.

With a length of 235 kilometers, the Saar is the longest tributary of the Moselle. more: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saar#:~:text=Mit%20235%20Kilometern%20Flie%C3%9Fstrecke%20ist,mit%202.569%2C69%20km%C2%B2%20Fl%C3%A4che.
